In order to keep costs down for the Gowtz community we do not provide e-mail service. With the proliferation of spam and viruses transmitted through e-mail we feel it is better to recognize that we can best service the Gowtz community by keeping our focus on providing the best web hosting available.
E-mail is a critical tool for both individual members and businesses striving to maintain a professional Internet presence. We want to help community members to get the best e-mail service available. To fulfill this goal we are offering our assistance in helping the Gowtz Community migrate their e-mail to the Google Apps service.
Google Apps — Standard Edition — provides more than just e-mail. It provides your family or business its own private version of Gmail, Google Docs, Google Chat, and Google Calendar using your own domain name at no charge.
Benefits
- Enjoy Gmail’s excellent spam and virus filtering on your own domain’s email
- Up to 50 large mailboxes at 7 gigs each
- Your Google Apps e-mail can be read from anywhere in the world using the familiar Gmail web interface or it can be downloaded into your favorite mail program via POP3 or IMAP
- Easily collaborate with others in your family or organization with your own version Google Docs
- Quickly create multiple shared calendars for your family or organization
- Private Instant Messaging for your family or organization with the option of attaching your chat service to the massive Google Chat system so you can communicate with others outside of your domain
Pricing
Google Apps Standard is provided free by Google so there is no monthly or annual recurring cost for the service.
Setting up the service can be a little tricky for people unfamiliar with working with DNS records. For a one time $100 consulting fee, the Gowtz system admins will handle the entire process for you.
The non-Standard versions of Google Apps come with support directly from Google we do not provide this service for those varieties of Google Apps.
